My chiropractor likes flip flops bc there's little to no heel lift to throw the body out of neutral spine alignment. He says they're similar to walking barefoot. Bith mt chiropractors REALLY like my vibrams and that I run in them.

Go barefoot or else try some huaraches (luna sandals or xeroshoes). I bought the xero shoes kit and tied them myself (even added some embellishments I already had at home) and they look quite stylish. Plus as they stay attahed to your foot you donT need to curl down your toes when walking.

My doc loves barefoot - he just doesn't like that flip flops require you to hold the shoe on with your toes, thus altering a barefoot strike. Then again I am super clutzy and have been known to trip over my flip flops so it may just be a "me" thing He is also one of my best friends husbands so he knows how graceful I am.

I've gone from a 6-6.5 to a 5-6. I really haven't lost much weight, either.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"
